You've forgotten about our discussion in <https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4195> :) > So, right now we still need that, but I expect that to change in near > future. BTW just last evening I found out about X86-S: - https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-X86-S-64-bit-Only - https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/envisioning-future-simplified-architecture.html - https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/776648 I'm slightly curious if those IA32->X64 "replacement" patches you mention are related to X86-S ;) Laszlo -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
